Revised policies and procedures for the Managing and Reporting Accounts Receivables and Debt Collection Process and Actions are now available on the SWIFT website. The policies and procedures have been updated for added clarity and the change in MS 16D.09 requiring additional reporting of write-offs of debt to the legislature. This change requires agencies to report write-offs of $100,000 or more and MMB to prepare an annual year-end report on write-offs.

As part of the year-end cleanup on SWIFT, the Purchase Order Reconciliation (PO Close) job is scheduled to run Friday, May 14. The PO Reconciliation job closes purchase orders that have been fully matched by setting the Status to "Complete."
For addition information on this job, see the SWIFT Procurement Year End Processing Tips.
The PO Close job will run two additional times this year to assist in closing documents: June 30 and the hard close weekend of August 20.
Remember, you can prevent the PO Reconciliation job from closing a purchase order by selecting the "Hold From Further Processing" checkbox on the purchase order header page. You can use this checkbox if you plan on increasing the purchase order at a later date.
Shelia Cunningham is one of the trainers on the SWIFT Training Team.
How long have you been at MMB?
I’ve been on this team for six years now. I started at the state at DEED to manage the outreach and training area of CareerOneStop, a federal web-based job seekers tool kit. I worked for MinnState to manage the iSeek (CareerWise) web-based suite of tools.
What's your favorite part of your job?
I am curious and I love learning new technologies and finding helpful ways to explain and use them. I feel satisfied when agency staff gain an appreciation for the complexities and power of SWIFT.
What's a fun fact some people don't know about you yet?
I used to make quilts for family and friends. I decided to transfer those skills to gut and redo my basement. I learned how to cut, measure, and put together wood paneling, electrical outlets, carpet, ceiling insulation, and use Bondo to fix the shower stall. The next project is to rehab a van camper so I can go explore the world outside of Minnesota.
This picture is of my daughter, Ellie, and me. She is a very talented singer and performer. She was the lead in her high school musical, Sister Act.
